Lula's Sweet Apothecary

Lula's Sweet Apothecary - 516 E. 6th Street (Avenue A/B) (Vegan ice cream)All I can say is...it's about freakin' time! Yes, now the East Village boasts a fun and tasty (albiet small) vegan ice creamery...offering all of your childhood favorites, from hot chocolate sundaes, to banana splits...complete with a bunch of "Cold Stone" type toppings...including coconut, sprinkles and even vegan gummy bears (YUM!). Made in-house, the ice cream's good, and reasonably priced for the Manhattan crowd (around $6 for a sundae.) The size is slightly small (at least compared to my memories of Friendly's), but it definitely satisfies an ice cream craving. A quick conversation with the proprietor revealed that there'll be even more options in the future...including raw ice cream and lots of other sweet stuff. So give Lula's a shot...especially if you're in a treat-yourself mood.
